State v. Outhet

NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS No. 112,010 STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. WILLIAM J. OUTHET, Appellant.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appeal from Johnson District Court; BRENDA M. CAMERON, judge. Opinion filed November 17, 2017. Petition for review improvidently granted.

Michelle A. Davis, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, argued the cause and was on the brief for appellant.

Sara L. Walton, assistant district attorney, argued the cause, and Shawn E. Minihan, assistant district attorney, Stephen M. Howe, district attorney, Steven J. Obermeier, senior deputy district attorney, and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were on the briefs for appellee.

PER CURIAM: We determine that the petition for review in this case was improvidently granted. This decision is identical in effect to a denial of the petition for review in the first instance, and a "'denial of a petition for review imports no opinion on the merits of the case.'" State v. Eisenhour, 305 Kan. 409, 411, 384 P.3d 426 (2016) (quoting Supreme Court Rule 8.03[g] [2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 56]).

Petition for review improvidently granted.
